[@brendanm6921]

The speed at which the "sorry" klaxon came up after Alan said "That's not what I said." is incredible. Whoever it is that operates that thing truly is the soul of this show.

[@tonyreynolds5112]

I would figure the keypad has a sorry button. One touch.,... SORRY! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@VocalClassics]

My memory might be mistaken here, but I believe on a behind the scenes episode or a Fish episode it was mentioned that the staff of each episode changes, so, for example, sometimes Alex runs the klaxon for an episode, sometimes it's Anna. I think. Like I said, could be wrong hehe

[@JimC]

There's a possibility there was a few seconds between that and the klaxon that was edited out of the show entirely, so it wouldn't appear in either the normal or XL version.

[@Dominian1]

They can definitely type in custom texts, but they usually go by pre-typed ones. I think "sorry" is one of the standard options, since it's come up a few times and always very quickly. On the other hand it's a very short word and could be typed in a second.

[@TxWIll]

Sorry doesn't seem to be such a hard word after all

[@neuroticchik]

Aisling has the mannerisms and even the stuttering down to a T. I have seen this so many times in other clips and it still cracks me up.

[@klaxoncow]

It's possible that they've always had it on standby, for when they make a cock-up. But just had never so overtly got it wrong before. After all, they've obviously got a load of answers ready to go on their computer and the possibility of "fat fingers" hitting the wrong button is always there.

@@SpeccyMan Ballsacks - the retractable and adjustable thermostats of the human body. May contain nuts. But I do see what you mean. I'm not saying the design is completely flawed, it just seems like an early prototype that has some glaring issues that would need to be ironed out before release. Specifically the part about having very sensitive reproductive organs dangle like that, an easy target for any would-be kickers, and use adjustable air cooling rather than the more traditional cooling method of adjusting the heat of the blood going to the organs. Or well, at least it isn't like that alien from one of the Men In Black movies, where the ballsack is located on the chin. Would make for awkward watercooler moments, not to mention resting your chin on your hands would be very uncomfortable.

We all suspected it was a ploy that the judge and co. used to force juries to come to a decision more quickly. It's probably still going on.

[@EebstertheGreat]

The 98.6 °F figure is quite old. For years I thought it was an improper conversion from 37 °C--that is, the original measurement was stated precise to 1 °C, but it was then converted to 98.6 °F without correctly rounding the result. It turns out that isn't quite true. Although Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich's 1851 paper does state the average as "37 °C," this was not a rounded figure, as all other figures are given to 0.1 °C. Rather, at the time, there just wasn't the modern convention of significant figures. (Today, we would write it 37.0 °C.) Rather, Wunderlich's measurements were simply biased, being based only on military men, and his equipment may not have been perfectly calibrated. Additionally, the mean body temperature appears to have dropped slightly over the last 170 years. Today, the average for healthy adults seems to be more like 36.6 °C = 97.9 °F (according to some sources; others give values as high as 98.2 °F, so I guess even today there is no scholarly consensus). EDIT: It is not the case that Wunderlich believed armpit temperatures accurately reflected core temperature. He knew they would be lower and attempted to calibrate his thermometer so as to account for the discrepancy. He used numerous oral and rectal measurements to do so.

[@millomweb]

May be his average of 37 wasn't rounded but all the numbers used to calculate it were ! Astatitician would be most suspicious of the lack of decimal places with such data.

The fact that is completely missed is that the body is not the same temperature all over. The extremities are a lower temperature than the core of your body.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

In an emergency situation, it's only the _core body temperature_ that a clinician is really interested in - that lets us know if your organs are under threat in any way, and whether you need emergency treatment, as when it's unstable, you can't maintain the integrity of your physiology. But peripheral temperature is a helpful indicator of fever or less serious infection.
